Pied Piper Creamery

Good, but not great ice cream. Cute little place and I had high hopes. Maybe I just got the wrong flavor. It was chocolate peanut butter and was kind of bland. The hot fudge tasted like it was out of a jar. Altogether disappointing given all the good reviews.

There is lots of ice cream in Nashville, but this place is the best. Quirky quality flavors make it stand out.
My favorites are the oatmeal raisin and coconut.

Really great place with super fun flavors that are creative without being so creative that they start to lack a resemblance to recognizable ice cream. The staff’s really friendly and my idea of a perfect afternoon involves getting out of work early, grabbing some Pied Piper Creamery ice cream and sitting on their front porch and watching the world go by.

Good stuff!

This was a really cute little place. I love that they had kid toys and books, although more tables might be nice. We had to rush out of there so another party wouldn’t be forced to enjoy their ice cream cones outside in the pouring rain. I got the raspberry truffle, which was recommended by the kid working at the counter and it was just ok. The raspberry flavor was very artificial and slightly chemically (is that a word?) My husbands chocolate peanut butter was really good, though. Don’t you hate it when your spouse always orders better than you do?

Great ice cream… not too bad prices either. The service was great too. It’s always a pleasure to get great service. I would go again.

This is a cute little place tucked back in East Nashville. With a couple dozen flavors to choose from there’s something for everyone. And don’t worry– they’re happy to let you sample before you buy.
I landed on the RC cola with Moon Pie and was not disappointed!

best. ice cream. in. nashville.
they have flavours that you wont find anywhere else! and of course the Unilocal and crowd favourite: THE TRAILER TRASH.
ingredients inside the trailer trash (i had to scour through many reviews to find someone that actually posted about the findings inside this trash): vanilla based ice cream + crushed oreos, M&Ms, reese’s pieces, butterfingers, twix, snickers, nestle crunch bars. DELISH!!! (ok for all yall out there that may not like all of these candy bars, including me since i hate anything peanut buttery, trust me, its not at all that tasteable. you’ll be able to manage that little bit of peanut butter)
GET THE TRAILER TRASH
another fav of mine: the minty chocolate one. DELISH. i hate places that make their mint with like chocolate chips (disgusting, too crunchy). they dont. so eat this!
located in a cutesy corner of east nashville near 5 points pizza. IDEAL DATE IDEA: eat at 5 points, then walk over and enjoy some pied piper ice cream and walk around or sit on the cute porch they have in front of their store/​house. not dog friendly inside, unfortunately, but im pretty sure your dog can stay on the porch!
also, doesnt hurt that they’re named after my all time fav tv show: silicon valley! do you think erlich bachman would try to sue this creamery for infringing on their copyright?

Darned good ice cream. That’s what this place does and that’s who they are. I feel like doing the commercial from Tommy Boy when I describe this place. It’s just good ice cream with no frills in a neighborhood joint.
The atmosphere is a small house near five points in East Nashville. You walk in and feel like you’re walking in to this Jenny’s home where she just made you a treat. There’s all sorts of fun art on the walls and a friendly hipster waiting to serve you behind the counter.
My favorite is the «Some Like it Hot» ice cream. As an avid fan of Jeni’s Queen City Cayenne, I truly believe this beats it. It’s so cinnamon-​y and spicy and chocolaty. It’s pretty perfect. I do wish it were a bit of a nicer spot to hang out but it’s not trying to be. It’s trying to be a darned good spot for ice cream because that’s who they are and that’s what they believe in. Seriously, going to watch Tommy Boy now.

A pretty good ice cream place. I came here on a road trip through Nashville and was happy with what I got but not overly impressed. The flavor selection was good and the staff was pretty friendly. The bathroom in the building is dirty and doubles as a storage closet, though, which was kind of weird. Overall it was good but not outstanding.

This is the ONLY place to get real great ice cream if you are in Nashville. The staff are amazing, and are always creating some of the best flavors, and making them fresh in the location.
I send all my friends here, and even use them for parties by purchasing large containers. The Red Velvet Cake and Cookie Monster are my go to favorites, with the Baklava running closely behind! The ambiance is great, and the location isn’t too far from the artsy 5 points area in East Nashville and East Park to grab some ice cream and go enjoy your day!
Check them out as a real LOCAL ice creamery in town!

I’m not going to lie. I know the owner so no matter what, this place will get 5 stars.
That being said, it’s actually a great tasting ice cream shop! Even though I have yet to see my friend there in 5 years or so, I still make a 20 minute trip from my parents place on Belmont to eat ice cream.
Everything I had there were great and place is very comfortable with great staff at hand.

I love this quaint, charming ice cream shop in Nashville. They have a smaller but delicious and unique selection of custom flavors, and even have floats. I got the Cookie Monster in a waffle cone, and it was delish. Best part? They offer lactaid for sale for 50 cents… A total life saver for the lactose intolerant ice cream lovers who always forget to carry their own, myself included.

If you’re going to have some ice-​cream, for goodness sakes try something more than just plain vanilla! If you’re looking for some really interesting flavors then you need to be sure and put it in your calendar to head on over to Pied Piper Creamery.
My family and I stopped into the shop in East Nashville last night as part of my friend’s #NotARule book tour for @EscapeAdulthood. Now I regret having taken so long to get this place on my list of places to try out in the city.
I visited their website to try and track down the different flavors we had and didn’t realize that had SO STINKIN’ MANY flavor concoctions they’ve put together. I couldn’t find the flavors we had exactly but I had a spicy chocolate with cayenne pepper I believe along with a scoop of The Professor? that had a bunch of different types of nuts included. My daughter had a A&W rootbeer float and my son had some plain chocolate.
I can’t even begin to start talking about all the different options they might have available when you visit, but I just found one on their list called «When Hell Freezes Over» which is coffee ice-​cream with habanero sauce and a raspberry swirl. Yes please!
This could get D-​A-​N-​G-​E-​R-​O-​U-​S-​!
Oh, and did I mention they recently made the list of the 21 best ice cream shops in America? Not that you needed any more peer pressure, but you know. Go get some now!

We stopped in here for ice cream after dinner in this neighborhood. It’s such a cute place! I love that it’s in an old house. Charming! Wish there was more seating. Good ice cream!

I love Pied Piper! It’s conveniently located, delicious, friendly, and cute!
I love that it’s a locally owned small business and I find the flavors delightful and not overpowering or too rich. «The Professor» is my absolute favorite!

Heard about this place years ago and was excited to finally try it. I’m okay admitting that if Jeni’s was open (and listeria free) we would have gone there.
Pied Piper had some out there flavors, but they made much more sense than Jeni’s. We were a party of five and the staff was great about letting the kids sample flavors. We all settled on different things. I had a creation inspired by leftover Easter candy. Malted vanilla dyed green with malted milk balls. Yummier than expected. We also had a trailer trash (signature flavor), TLC toffee loaded coffee, plain chocolate, and a Neapolitan. Everyone enjoyed their flavors. The kids got a kick out of the waffle cones being warm. I got a kick out of the shakers of sprinkles.
We took the ice cream outside to the porch which was perfect.

Go go go!!! I literally sampled EVERY flavor in the case — thanks to the sweet worker who graciously kept letting me sample «just one more»!!
And they were all amazing!
I left with the mint — oatmeal raised cookie — key lime and Java coffee.

I am a huge ice cream fan so when I saw Pied Piper on TV not long ago, I knew I needed to try it! It’s in a great area, that’s pretty easy to find parking around (or if you live in the area you can easily walk over). Pretty much every flavor sounded delicious but I opted for the Trailer Trash 2.0 because I love candy and chocolate so perfect combo. The ice cream was awesome and I definitely plan to be back to try the other flavors. The servings are pretty big, we went with single scoops and they were plenty.
The inside is a shop with lots of kids stuff and the ice cream part is on one side. The area right in front of the ice cream cooler is a little small but people are pretty good about getting their ice cream and then moving out of the way. There are a couple of tables with chairs to sit at. Overall we will definitely be back and we highly recommend.

I think I understand the whole ‘Pied Piper’ thing. On a warm summer day, you can smell the goodies coming out of this charming house. Once you walk in, you’re surrounded by intoxicating smells, colorful décor and squealing, excited (read: sugar hopped) children. This joint knows how to lure you in and make you a follower. Pied Piper. I get it.
I also get the need to eat everything in sight. It’s no secret that I have a wicked sweet tooth. I am also fond of most things local. Add in a variety of new flavors and kitschy names and you’ve got me. I’m all in. The only trick to PPC is coming here when there isn’t much of a line. Remember those kitschy names and variety of flavors? Well, there’s no real way of knowing what they are until you taste them. You need to taste them all and that takes time. If you have an experienced fattie behind you (I can speak on it because I am one), s/he’s not going to be happy with you wasting time that could be spent with ice cream in her/​his mouth. So, come here at an off-​peak time, study the menu and try all the ice cream. Once you have, you’ll be equipped to make good ice cream decisions — like yours truly.
My most recent visit found me combining Professor (coconut ice cream with three kinds of nuts) and Truffle Shuffle (a fat shaming name that shames me not; it’s a chocolate raspberry mix with chocolate chips) sundae (whipped cream, caramel and a cherry). I was the awe of all the children. I made sure to eat it in full view in front of them. What good’s age and size if you can’t use it? Beyond that good combo decision, there are MANY more to be made. PPC has, I think, 24 flavors at all times and many more in its arsenal. Don’t waste time calling ahead and seeing what’s on the menu. Come at an off time, taste and make the magic happen. Thankfully, the gals behind the counter are patient and have good attitudes. I don’t always eat ice cream in cold temps but when I do, it’s likely you’ll find me here.
